Junior dos Santos has had a pretty impressive run int he UFC. It
kicked off with him getting a shocking knockout win over heavy favorite Fabricio Werdum in 2008 which his most recent fight being a heavyweight title win on the UFC's debut on FOX.

If his amazing rise through the UFC ranks wasn't enough, now it
appears the champ is interested on setting his sights on a new challenge
down the road. Via UOL Esportes (translation via Tom Mendes).

First, Junior speaks:


"The more goals you reach, the bigger your dreams become. I'd like
very much to test myself in boxing. In the gym I train boxing a lot and I
see it as a sport that brings something different. You have to be more
loose and faster. If the opportunity arises, I'd like to try it, but
first I have to defend this (UFC) belt"

Then his coach:


To have Junior fighting at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (in 2016)
would be a dream, but today his priority is MMA. If one day he has the
opportunity he could try to fight for the title.

Yeah but unlike GSP, this guy has potential for the Olympics. The best wrestlers in the World compete at the Olympics, same can't be said about boxing.
